Skills to be acquired in this module | Electrodynamics and optics: Students will be able to understand the electric and magnetic phenomena and their treatment by an electromagnetic field including electromagnetic waves - with special emphasis on light. Optical systems: The students should be able with the help of optics basics to apply the optics to solve questions of informatics and measurement technology illumination technology materials processing with laser beams and the development of optical mechanical instruments and systems to implement the field of optics and to solve engineering questions. |
Module contents | Electrodynamics and optics: Basics of Electrostatics, matter in an electric field, the magnetic field, motion of charges in electric and magnetic fields, magnetism in matter, induction, electromagnetic waves, light as electromagnetic wave Optical systems: Summary of optical basics, technical optics as basics, optical rays, behaviour and properties of electromagnetic waves, application of wave optic properties, area of validity and low of geometric optics, application of ray optic laws, optical image, imaging construction elements, ray bundle, bundle limitation, physics of rays and light, colours, optical systems, set-up and function of selected optical systems of the illumination technology, measurement technology, material processing with laser beams, Communication technology |
